Is begging (negotiation without leverage) a remotely reliable move for those without insurance or is it just an excuse dangled by apologists when in fact the reality is that it usually results in a very small discount unless you get the story to go viral?
- extradego 7y agoI don’t exactly know what you’re talking about, but you can always get healthcare if you don’t mind going bankrupt for it.
- anewhope 7y agoYes, generally your leverage is that you can just not pay.
- jjoonathan 7y agoThat only applies once their demands are going to actually bankrupt you, and even then only if you're offering them more than a court would take. "No leverage" is the usual case. "You COULD get a huge discount!!!" is, to first approximation, pure bullshit.
